Hi, I am pleased to announce the addition of Meredith Wolf DMD to our practice! I am very excited to have Dr. Wolf on our team. I had many conversations with Dr. Wolf and after interviewing numerous candidates it was clear she is the best choice for our practice. She cares deeply about doing great work, being ethical, and having good relationships with patients. I feel that she has a bright future here. Please read her bio below.
Dr. Wolf has been treating patients for over three years. She moved to the Reno/Sparks area over a year ago after deciding on what area best fit her lifestyle and has been working here locally since. Over the next year I will be introducing her to most of you. I also will be having her do some of the hygiene exams so please be welcoming when you meet her. All patients are welcome to see either of us at any time without any judgement. Her first day with us will be September 15th, 2025.
If you have questions for me or Dr. Wolf please feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
Jake Banks DDS

He has pursued advanced training in many areas including complex digital dentistry, implants, and full mouth restorative dentistry. Dr. Banks exclusively designs the majority of his crown, bridge, and implant work in the office laboratory which is uncommon among dentists. Dr. Banks believes that dentistry should be non-toxic, functional, and esthetic.
Dr. Jake Banks has a primary focus of delivering excellent oral healthcare that fully addresses his patient’s concerns and health needs in a gentle way. Dr. Banks is committed to making each experience at the dentist pleasant and comfortable. He feels having strong relationships with his patients is essential to their comfort and promotes better communication between doctor and patient which leads to better care.
Dr. Banks is able to provide dentistry using the most modern dental techniques and technology. He provides services in complex restorative dental cases, extraction, implant restoration, smile design, cosmetics, veneers, root canals, soft tissue laser surgery, and more.
Dr. Banks spends the majority of his free time doing activities with his wife, two young daughters, and his two labradors. He enjoys the natural beauty of Nevada to its fullest. Dr. Banks is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys hiking, backpacking, camping, skiing, fishing, and more.
